Re: New BT Infinity install coming......

My installer replaced the ancient socket and front plate and ran an extension to where my old ADSL router lived in the next room drilling through the door frame and tacking the cable to the skirting board which was an improvement on my DIY bodge of black tape and hiding under the edge of the carpet. Sounds like yours is a much longer run than that.

Oh well, looks like it'll have to be a couple of power over ethernet connectors then. The line comes in by the front door, where the main box is situated, but all the lines are buried in the walls - and as the whole lot has only just been decorated, I'm not gonna have them (Kellys are more likely around here) drilling holes adnauseum around the house.

Besides, power over ethernet connectors will allow me to just plug a wifi extender in anywhere.......

Not the best solution but given that I can't get the time off at this time of year, so the F-I-L will have to be here to let them in, it's most likely the easiest until I can work out the best way of transferring the connection back upstairs to my office.......
